He pointed out that there has not been much change to the number of daily deaths and number of patients needing ventilators despite the lockdown. “What we need is a total lockdown of at least three weeks of complete stop to all movements in all sectors. “We have to look at mortality rates which have not gone down, the number of patients needing ventilators and patients being admitted to ICU are still on the high. She also said that there was still too much movement of people during the lockdown as many economic sectors remained operating. Soh said that essential sectors currently allowed to operate must now be extended to include an en-bloc approval of the entire supply chain.
